Interestingly Watford Town Centre has been pedestrianised, in part. I think Alan Partridge should visit and give his opinion on whether this, some would say 'half baked' approach works in a town like Watford. Watford is fairly easy to access from Norwich - M11 & then M25. You'll note this concept of 'Alan Partridge Pedestrianised City/Town Centre Approval' (APPC/TCA for fairly short) was sparked by Sir Elton John (Watford Football Club & a singer) duetting with Alan Partridge & I think APPC/TCA has 'legs'.
@@jamesnewstead7099 I think, James, with all due respect, that pedestrianisation of city centres goes way beyond simple football allegiances. Whereas football is simply a children's game which has evolved to a method of most effectively extracting money from the sort of simple minded working class people who do not have money in the first place (in large part wholly because they are not able to distinguish between essential spending and the feckless folly/short term gratification that watching adult men play a child's game provides), city centre pedestrianisation is a CRUCIAL part of safety and sustainability pertaining to the socio economic future of Britain's high streets. I am sure that Sir Elton appreciates this as much as anyone!
I still remember him being interviewed by Rowan Atkinson, who obsesses about him having his name the 'wrong way around'. Elton's a surname and John is a first name, have you never tried to get that fixed?
I actually don't see Steve Coogan playing Alan Partridge, I actually see Alan Partridge as a bona- fida celebrity presenter. There's no end to the depth of Alan Partridge 😂
Yes they are two different people, but the best part of Alan Partridge was always bragging about booking a famous celebrity and the celebs always cancelling on him
I Love that Alan mentioned the old people on hospital radio keeping time 'off-beat' - then later as they're singing that lady in the audience inadvertently clapping OFF-time. - as someone in the comments mentioned, that shot of Jeff Goldblum wondering what universe he's on. lol Lovely Stuff.
Coogan doesn't need the make up anymore to age himself that's for sure, considering Alan partridge started on the day today in 94 as a young man it's weird to see him dramatically age him in just 6 years.
It is easy to forget in this clip with Steve Coogan, and a similar sketch with Rowan Atkinson that it is Elton John who is asked work outside his comfort zone, performing comedy, and he keeps up with both of them with smooth, effortless timing and delivery. The comic back and forth is so natural you are blown away when Elton John starts to sing and you are reminded he is an icon for his singing.
The backing track is took from Elton's One Night Only show at Madison Square Garden 2000. He had a deputy piano player that night as he duetted with Kiki Dee.
You obviously don't watch much of Alan partridge where a good majority of the comedy is mean spirited, he gets petty and jealous constantly, can we drop the back in the day everything was somehow better bullshit, what u mean is your nostalgic that's all, I was alive in the 90s and it was no different to now.
@@johnb1150Well nobody is making or broadcasting as much genuinely funny, enjoyable comedy as there was in abundance in the 90s/early 2000s. So in that respect it certainly ain’t better now

There will never be an end to obscure Partridge clips surfacing.
good
Excellent
Technically there will.
Needless to say Alan always has the last laugh
Have you seen his ABBA duet ...deserves an award !
I wonder what Elton thinks of the Pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre.

@@jamesnewstead7099 Pedestrianisation of city centres is NO JOKE James. Treat the subject lightly at your peril.
I've been a partridge nerd for 25 years and have never seen this. It's f*cking brilliant
I love the look of confusion on Jeff Goldblum's face.
I think he's still tryna work out who the British are
I think he's still trying to work out who HE is.
He just doesn't get it / the parody etc
Steve is such a ridiculously talented man
“He really is!”

23 years later and AP is still going stronger than ever - thanks Neil and Rob Gibbons
What a great sport and great entertainer Sir Elton John is.
I still remember him being interviewed by Rowan Atkinson, who obsesses about him having his name the 'wrong way around'.
Elton's a surname and John is a first name, have you never tried to get that fixed?
25yrs a Partridge fan and even more an Elton fan and I’ve somehow never seen this.
AA jacket. Up there with his Castrol GTX one. haha
Ha ha! Tried to buy one once.. sadly a prop for the show
Remember his Phil Collins no Jacket required tour jacket
A comedy legend & a musical legend, why? How? I don't know, but it's fantastic.
I actually don't see Steve Coogan playing Alan Partridge, I actually see Alan Partridge as a bona- fida celebrity presenter.

Alan Partridge 😂
Yes totally agree 🫡
Yes they are two different people, but the best part of Alan Partridge was always bragging about booking a famous celebrity and the celebs always cancelling on him
@@ytzpilot he is always obnoxiously rude but likeable st the same time which is very difficult to pull off
That's the genius behind it but he's a very realistic character that evolves with such effortlessl grace
@@davidjones6470 you can never tire of him either
Peak Partridge. Lovely stuff.
Elton outperforming on the comedy and Coogan outperforming on the singing make this a gem.
Just discovered this and it is very very funny , the two of them work brilliantly together.
Alan is superb, as always.
Affectionate and moving, quite jubilant!! “Alan Alan Alan!” “Elton Elton Elton!!” ❤️🔥
First time I have seen this. Brilliant.
Nice to see Elton John's up for a laugh.
I love these two men beyond measure. ❤️😁❤️
Best version of Dont Go Breaking My Heart I heard since Gary Willmore’s wedding
Gary Wilmot, not Willmore
Stop getting Gary Wilmot wrong!
looking through gary wilmot's eyes. I'd love to have that opportunity.
Breakfast was superb. 10 on 10
@@cliffclavin3865let’s make love!
First time seeing this. Brilliant!
A true legend in music and one of all time great comedians together performing a classic, it doesn't get any better than that. AHA!
Hotter than the sun!!
I doubt Steve Coogan has ever had more fun as Alan Partridge
"is that why you bought a football team "
The comedy awards used to be such a good laugh
Lovely stuff.
Great performance. Not my words, the words of shaking Stevens
Lovely stuff
I Love that Alan mentioned the old people on hospital radio keeping time 'off-beat' - then later as they're singing that lady in the audience inadvertently clapping OFF-time. - as someone in the comments mentioned, that shot of Jeff Goldblum wondering what universe he's on. lol
Lovely Stuff.
How would I find that? Know the name of the video title?
Good to see them reunited tonight
This was peak Partridge for me. Young but somehow looked 50, threw unfathomable amounts of insults around

Very true. Elton is acting like the awkward singer put on the spot and his comedy acting is fantastic considering it’s not his thing
Elton is the man!
I remember watching this when it was first aired and i loved it then
song starts at 4:20!
Brilliant Video, 6:24 for me is quintessential partridge.
Elton has an incredibly powerful voice he has the lot musically too and I love Steve coogan too.
What most people probably didn't get is that Harry Webb is the original name of Cliff Richard... aha!
We did though
Lovely Stuff
Alan does a great duet
*_"Don't go on saying A-HA!"_*
Alan has had some Great Musical Moments. Gay Alan here, Irish Alan last month and Bush Alan all fab
Sad but you wouldn’t get this nowadays. Pure 90s positivity, everyone loving it. An absolute feel good.
Oh don't crap on, you get feel good shit all the time now, and this was 2000 not the 90s.
@@johnb1150 maybe in your fantasy world yeah......
@@johnb1150 quite right!
Lol. Yeah, it's all doom and gloom these days, for the Daily Mail readers. Lol. Right, mate?
Yeah agreed. Imagine saying “ I’m not gay you know” on tv now. You’d be slated for been homofobic. Worlds gone mad
Barney Turpin.
I love that guy
That was text book
Great vocal from Elton. The vocal from Alan Partridge, well who am I to talk.
I have one question and that is: who, the fuck, has disliked this clip?
I know, the mind boggles
We'll never know now
Probably Steven McCombe
@pigeonkid4
Harry Webb, that duplicitous bastard!
Jeff Goldblum?
Excellent 😂😂
Alan became a huge success. Whatever happened to the guy on piano.
Elton is class top top
2 girls singing....how sweet !
"with respect, you are wrong."
05:39
Sacha Baron Cohen, admiring one of the other players in his league.
"I prefer Adam and Eve to Elton and David". "I suppose I'm a homosceptic"..... Classic Partridge.
Lovely stuff
@@thewilk8556 I thought he said "Adam and Steve"
I wish they’d done “Saturday Night”. Elton’s best song.
it's literally his second worst song
The Americans in the crowd must have been wondering what the fuck was going on 😂
Should always put the date!
The backing track is took from Elton's One Night Only show at Madison Square Garden 2000. He had a deputy piano player that night as he duetted with Kiki Dee.
That's a little bit too much coming from a man who spends 2 billion pounds a day on daffodils.
Genius comedian 🤣
Ah yes, people having fun back then. Also the comedy was wonderfully ridiculous as opposed to mean spirited
You obviously don't watch much of Alan partridge where a good majority of the comedy is mean spirited, he gets petty and jealous constantly, can we drop the back in the day everything was somehow better bullshit, what u mean is your nostalgic that's all, I was alive in the 90s and it was no different to now.

Just Jeff Goldblum casually watching 😆
YT really hidd this gem...
I'd only be able to hit those notes if I pierced my foot on a spyke!!
haha classic, I've no idea how he keeps a straight face!
You might like my own song clip, DOWNTOWN ;-)
7:38 Jeff goldblum!
Lookout Kiki Dee! Lol (kidding she fuckin rocks), this does too, I love Alan’s music collabs and medleys like the Kate Bush one lol
I dance like Partridge when I’m not trying to be funny
Is that Sacha Baron Cohen at 5:40?
It looks like it.
would have been there for his Ali G character
Anyone know who's sitting behind Elton? She looks so familiar.
I was wondering this too...perhaps Sarah Cox?
Are there kids on Mars?
Looking back Alan has aged so well compared to Elton.
Alan feeds on the tears of people who cringe while watching him
Jurassic Park
being 20 years younger helps 😆
bOYS BOYS BOYS . . ..
Who invented the skip?
Moribund? I don't think so.....
6:14
"Jurassic Park."
And Jeff Goldblum is in the audience funnily enough. I wonder what he made of Alan.
Steven Premmel Looked baffled.
lol brilliant
Apparently Alan got a taxi to this gig as he refused to drive a mini metro
I got a spare room.
I hated music up until I saw this in 2000. It changed everything.
I wonder what Jeff Goldblum made of Alan Partridge lol
Hilarious!
Only us Brits get this humour. Americans bemused and wondering what they are on about.
Sir Cliff Richard used to be known as Harry Webb before he changed his name.
Nah it was Shirley Crabtree
@@LordmonkeyTRMNice! 😀
Alan's not actually gay. Love the disclaimer. LOL
RENAULT ESPACE
I'd love for the people to see Partridge and not know it's a character.
Edit: like Jeff Goldblum lol
i was wondering how much jonathon ross thinks partridge is a legend
lol!!
Is that why you ve bought a football team 😂😂
This could have been so great.
Steve Coogan is a brilliant actor but for me the Alan Partridge character is not funny at all, just my sense of humour I suppose.
Two of the biggest W⚓'s..
in showbusiness.....
Three if you include Wossy....
Partridge has completely and utterly disappeared up his own ringpiece.
Lovely stuff.
